File:Mesa Verde Pueblo II Mancos Black-on-White jar and ladle.jpg

Jar: A typical Mancos Black-on-white jar with short neck, small mouth, and globular body, with flat and somewhat incurved strap handles. The sloppy application of the early-type design may possibly indicate the jar was manufactured in the period.

Ladle: The mica present in the tempering material shows clearly as light flecks on the surface of this unslipped ladle. The rim opposite the handle is deeply worn, indicating long use.
